-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jim, Agreed, so throw the bad route to the bit bucket and leave the bgp session open, or at the very least (as others have suggested) give me an OPTION to do that. Bad enough we were only operating at 33% capacity, however, if we only had transit from the 4 that were giving us the bad route, we would have lost connectivity totally. While it would've been really cool to post an outage notification bragging about our RFC compliance, and how it's everybody elses fault, I (personally) would have preferred to stay connected to the internet and not be losing revenue. Perhaps I just have my priorities wrong.

A bad announcement should be stopped as soon as it's discovered, not propagated because it's inconvenient to drop the session on someone's network. - -- Jim Segrave [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOzoVx8p0j1NsDQTPEQKGLQCfd9wIWwhyDYgD/5ObtpOMl4IZWZAAn3R2 HsLf2EeNXCn0R6ZChnKdBPpk =9Sc3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
